Hunter River to King George River, October 2007
An eventful 10 day trip saw us take in the magic of the Hunter River, Prince Frederick Harbour, Rainforest Ravine and Treasure Island before making our way past Jusseau Island and Bigge Island to Shelter Bay. Some memorable mackerel moments and a decent haul of goldies kept us going and there were, as always, plenty of oysters for Woolo to consume. Rob’s 87cm barra near the Roe River was the fish of the day even if it did taste like old leather!
From Shelter we explored Mudge Bay where Wazza landed a monstrous 58lb mackerel and then took off for a 4 day session on barra in the Mitchell River. The crabbing was insane and the barra were plentiful and all of a good size. Quite a few biggies were dropped but Peter managed to stay connected to a healthy looking 85cm model with all the boys managing a decent sized fish or two. The last day of the trip was spent exploring the King George River before an early morning flight back to Darwin.
